Test your real-world machine speed...

Not blazing fast, but not snail's pace either:

PowerMac G4/400 PCI Yikes!:

does the amount of ram have anything to say in this test?

I doubt it because wdw_ has twice the RAM I do and he got lower scores.

Hhmm...good point, I didn't catch that one.

By the way, the thread topic is a bit misleading. This program in no way is capable of measuring "your real-world machine speed", as no benchmarking program is capable of such a feat. Benchmarks are benchmarks and don't really accurately reflect real-world performance, particularly under a typical user's workload.

 

[Jason]

may i ask what computer you are using?

Dual G4, I suspect...

 

[Jason]

i didnt think a dual g4 would get twice the speed as mine unless this prog was optimized for dual processors

 

[marmotton]

Typical Instructions: MIPS 407.9
Fast Integer Instructions: MIPS 868.3

with nothing running, after a restart. OS 10.1.5.

 

[gatorparrots]

The release notes for the program indicate that it is dual-processor aware:
Version History
V1.2 12/14/2001
Added support for multiple processors

CPU Monitor, PTH CPU Monitor, Grafboard and top all confirm this. Interestingly, top displays the usage as greater than 100% CPU usage -- topping out at around 175%. [I suspect this is due to the Finder, Dock, and various daemons running in the background.]

 

[edX]

Typical instructions: 310.6 MIPS
Fast Integer instructions: 663.7 MIPS

now i know all these people with G4's who complain about speed are just whiners.

interesting

Typical instructions: 370.1 MIPS
Fast Integer instructions: 785.3 MIPS
these results are exactly the same after a restart

on my iMac DV G3 400MHz, 192MB ram 10.1.5
that didnt have any other programs running (ex finder and speedx obviously)

mine's quite a bit quicker!

even with IE, stickeys and itunes (not playing) open
Fast Typical instructions: 356.5 MIPS
Integer instructions: 751.9 MIPS

Still faster. Whats the diff?

 

[onegoodpenguin]

On my iBook, I got:

626.3 MIPS

[DualG4X]

MIPS 1.2
BIPS 1.9
DUAL 533, 512MB, 10.2
Finder n Speed X Only
